Rhodes
Army ROTC Scholarships. Rhodes students may compete for Army ROTC scholarships providing college tuition and educational fees. Awardees also receive a book allowance of $600 per semester and a stipend varying from $350 - $500 per month from the Army (estimated).

Students awarded an Army ROTC scholarship may receive a Rhodes Grant equivalent to the cost of on-campus room and board based upon the 21 meal, standard multiple occupancy room rate. The Rhodes Grant will be awarded unless the student has already received a Rhodes College scholarship, fellowship or grant equal to or greater than the indicated grant amount. Rhodes Grants are renewable for three years as long as the student retains his/her ROTC Scholarship and meets the satisfactory academic progress standards for financial aid. Information about Army ROTC Scholarships may be obtained by writing to Army ROTC, The University of Memphis, Memphis, TN 38152, or by calling Army ROTC at (901) 678-2933.

Air Force ROTC Scholarships. Through an agreement between Rhodes and the United States Air Force, Rhodes students may participate fully in the AFROTC program based at the University of Memphis and can compete for AFROTC scholarships. Incoming freshman can compete for four, and in certain cases, five year scholarships by applying for an AFROTC College Scholarship (CSP) online at www.afrotc.com. Applicants must apply no later than December 1 of the year prior to entering college as a first-year student. Scholarships awarded through the CSP program include: (1) full-tuition and fees (Type 1); (2) up to $15,000 per year towards tuition and fees (Type 2); and (3) up to $9,000 per year towards tuition and fees (Type 7). Students not selected for a CSP scholarship, if eligible, can compete for a scholarship through the In College Scholarship Program (ICSP) once they are enrolled at Rhodes and in AFROTC. These scholarships include: (1) up to $15,000 per year towards tuition and fees (Type 2); (2) up to $9,000 towards tuition and fees (Type 3); and up to $3,000 towards tuition and fees (Type 6). Students who receive the Type 2 scholarships through CSP or ISCP are eligible to compete for an upgrade to 80 percent of tuition and fees. All AFROTC scholarship programs include a $900 per year book allowance.

Scholarship awardees who receive the Type 1 scholarship are also eligible to receive a Rhodes grant equivalent to the cost of on-campus room and board based upon the 21 meal, standard multiple occupancy rate. Those students who are awarded the Type 2 scholarship may receive a Rhodes grant equivalent to fifty percent (50%) of the on-campus cost of room and board based upon the 21 meal, standard multiple occupancy rate. The Rhodes grant will be awarded unless the student has already received a Rhodes College scholarship, fellowship or grant equal to or greater than the indicated grant amount. Rhodes grants are renewable for up to three years as long as the student retains his/her ROTC Scholarship and meets the satisfactory academic progress standards for financial aid. Please note that if a Type I recipient chooses to live at home or with relatives, the amount of the Rhodes grant plus the Air Force Type I scholarship cannot be more than Rhodes’ cost of attendance for a commuter student living with relatives.

Also ...Marquette still provides the R and B enhancement. The original post w Marquette was quite old. It has been verified it is still provided.
 
Campbell University in NC offers a room & board scholarship to students with AROTC scholarship. The university only has Army ROTC at this time.
 
George Washington University provides $6,000 a year for room and board to ROTC scholarship students in STEM majors and $4,000 to non-STEM majors.
 
University of Portland has AROTC and AFROTC. All scholarship recipients get room and board waived by the university. If a cadet has an advanced designee scholarship they still get room and board all four years. The amount covers a double occupancy room and the 2nd highest meal plan, if a student wants a single room or the higher meal plan they just pay the difference. It is worth just over $12,000.
 
Does anyone know if University of Texas Austin helps out NROTC students with room and board??
 
Southeastern University (SEU), along with Florida Southern College, both provide full Room & Board to AROTC Scholarship winners.
 
Creighton University gives 100% room and board to all ROTC students on scholarship - they will even provide year around on-campus apartments for juniors and seniors.
 
It's a little confusing as to what colleges offer free R&B, few colleges mention they offer free or discounted R&B on their ROTC websites. Other schools don't mention a word? Does anyone know if Boston U, Rice U, & U of Rochester are generous with their R&B scholarships?

BU covers half for partial AFROTC scholarship. The best source is the school itself. Check the website and/or call the financial aid office.
 
Can anyone tell me when the room and board part of the scholarship actually pay. We are in Florida and have Pre-paid tuition for the first 2 years, so my son opted to have the room and board scholarship. He has already started to receive his stipend and book allowance, but the 5K For room and board still has not dropped. My husband and I paid out of pocked to cover his dorm and meal plan for the semester, so we are anxiously awaiting his award to drop- has anyone else had this issue?? Pam
